摘要： Communication networks and methods are disclosed for providing converged prepaid charging and postpaid charging. A communication network described herein includes a switching system, a charging selection system, a prepaid charging system, and a postpaid charging system. When the switching system receives a call for a subscriber, the switching system processes a subscriber profile to determine a type of charging for the call. If the type of charging for the subscriber comprises a hybrid prepaid/postpaid charging, then the switching system transmits a query to the charging selection system. Responsive to the query, the charging selection system processes charging criteria to determine whether the hybrid prepaid/postpaid charging for the call should be prepaid or postpaid. The charging selection system initiates prepaid charging or postpaid charging for the call based on the charging criteria.

摘要： IMS gateway systems and methods are disclosed for providing notification to an IMS subscriber. An IMS gateway system described herein includes a session manager and a notification database. The notification database stores a plurality of notification definitions for pre-session, mid-session, and/or post-session notifications. The session manager identifies a triggering event for a session of an IMS subscriber. A triggering event may be the initialization of a session, the account balance of the IMS subscriber running low, the termination of a session, or any other event as defined for the session manager. The session manager identifies at least one notification definition for the triggering event from the notification database, and provides notification (e.g., a pre-session greeting, a mid-session warning of a low balance, a mid-session request to recharge the subscriber's account, a post-session goodbye message, etc) to the IMS subscriber based on the notification definitions identified for the triggering event.

摘要： IMS gateway systems and methods are disclosed for providing mid-session status checking in an IMS network. An IMS gateway system described herein includes a budget control system and a status checking system. When a session has been established in the IMS network, the budget control system performs budget control for the session. Concurrently, the status checking system periodically checks the status of the session. Responsive to the status checking system determining that the session is active, the budget control system continues to perform the budget control for the session. Responsive to the status checking system determining that the session has terminated, the budget control system terminates the budget control for the session. By periodically checking the status of the session, the IMS gateway system advantageously avoids a runaway changing scenario in the IMS network.

摘要： The present invention provides a ubiquitous solution for providing charge-related voice service such as voice announcement and interactive voice response in an IP multimedia subsystem. In particularly, an online charging system (10) detects the subscriber account profile of a user terminal (51) to determine whether there is an event for providing an end user with voice announcement or interactive voice response (S203). If there is such voice announcement event or interactive voice response event, the online charging system (10) will enter “redirection state” and send an instruction (S204) to an online charging client (20) for instructing the online charging client (20) to redirect the user terminal to a first server (30) for providing voice announcement or interactive voice response such that the first server (30) provides the user terminal (51) with voice announcement or interactive voice response. The online charging client (20) may comprise network gateway, session initiation protocol application server or media resource function controller, etc.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed that provide a voice notification to an end user while the end user is on an active voice call, where the voice notification includes information on a text message that was received. A system in one embodiment includes a message delivery system that receives a text message intended for a destination, and initiates delivery of the text message to the destination. The system also includes a message notification system that detects that the destination is engaged in an active voice call during the delivery of the text message, identifies information for the text message, converts the text message information into voice data to generate a voice notification, and initiates transmission of the voice notification to the destination to be played during the active voice call.

摘要： A third UE calls the second UE, however, the second UE is on a call with a first UE, then the call controlling device provides a voice message from said third user equipment as a background voice message to the second user equipment while keeping the call between the first user equipment and the second user equipment. The “background” in the background voice message is relative to the original call, and does not have any other special meanings. Since the original call between the first UE and the second UE is not affected, for the second UE, or a second user that uses the second UE, the voice message from the third UE is a background voice message.
